Reimagining Customer Onboarding for Banks

In this report by Zinnov and WorkFusion, we consider how banks are re-evaluating and transforming their customer onboarding operations in the time of COVID-19.

Importance of Know Your Customer processes in Account Opening

Know Your Customer (KYC), or Customer Due Diligence (CDD), is an integral part of an account-opening process. This involves verifying a client’s identity and the nature of their business. Financial institutions are obliged to perform the checks for every new account, as well as in some other circumstances, such as when there are suspicions of money laundering or when terrorism-related financial risks occur.

KYC/CDD measures can include common regulatory checks, such as verifying the customer’s identity, examining the list of authorized signers and their source of wealth, as well as country-specific obligations like FATCA screening.

There is room for improvement in KYC and account opening

Currently, KYC and account-opening processes create several challenges for banks, as they traditionally are:

1
Manual
Work is time-consuming, repetitive, and unfulfilling even with help from technology.
2
Slow
Customers expect same-day service, yet processes are slow, and SLAs are under pressure.
3
Costly
Manual work requires lots of staff and slow results may cause customers to be lost to competitors.
4
Fragile
Regulators expect robust, repeatable KYC processes, but are forced to issue warnings and fines.

There is an opportunity to transform Account Opening and related KYC/CDD processes with Intelligent Automation and reduce manual work, lower risks, and deliver a faster, easier onboarding experience for customers.
